THE IMPACTS OF ROAD TRANSPORT ON AIR QUALITY IN THE GREATER MANCHESTER REGION, UK: POLICIES TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT SYSTEM

The transport-induced air quality problems of the Greater Manchester, England region are examined. The problems are defined in terms of economic and social factors leading to the development of a car-based economy. The impacts of transport emissions on the natural and built environment and human health are discussed. The administrative, legislative and pollution control responses to the problem are examined. The nature of future air quality problems will require an integration of traffic management, land use, public transport and pollution control policies if they are to be satisfactorily addressed. A series of policy recommendations towards this end are included.
